One Thousand and Seven: Wasted Time

Time is precious, and every minute and every second is worth the effort.

Li Zhen stretched his waist, looked at the dim light spot on the Jade Ridge, and glanced at the wonderful figure of the fragrant shoulder ** next to him, "What time is it?"

"Six o'clock. Aina said lazily.

"It's only six o'clock?", Li Zhen shuddered and covered his head with a quilt, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could there be light at six o'clock, although Peter the Great had taken away most of the light on the World Tree, but the outside was obviously the phenomenon of artificial light energy, and it was definitely not a sunstone, "What time is it?"

"Six o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"What, I've been sleeping for eighteen hours, Aina, how did you manage not to wake me up", lifted the quilt and grabbed the magic robe and put it on his body.

"Didn't you say that you would wake up naturally today?", Aina said groggily.

Lao Li's hand holding the magic robe was fixed in mid-air, and then he remembered that it was now a vacation time, so he casually threw the magic robe on the hanger and went directly into the quilt, "I forgot, I thought I was doing experiments, you see, I have been used to it for ten years." He tapped Aina on the back, "Where do you want to play?"

The sleepy Aina suddenly became energetic, and her big eyes stared straight at Li Zhenshu, "Is it okay to do anything?"

"Hmm.... As long as the place on the World Tree is fine. Li Zhen shuddered and smiled, "I heard that there is a historical hometown, and it is inhabited by bards who have studied history, so let's go there for the first time." ”

"I've been there a long time ago. Aina said boredly, "I went with my sisters in the first year of our marriage. ”

"The Hanging Gardens. ”

"Cut, Sister Mei has to take us there once a year, and I'm a little tired of it. ”

"Or Volcanic Island, where a new project of magma crossing has been opened, and I heard that the praise is quite high. ”

Aina crawled to the drawer and threw a ticket in Lao Li's face, which was exactly a month ago.

Li Zhenshu was speechless, why did Aina have been to all these good places on the World Tree, and she seemed to be outdated, "Where do you want to go?"

"Iβ€”are you really going to listen to me?"

"As long as it's fun, why don't you listen to you. ”

Aina smiled playfully, "Why don't we escape, don't let people know who we are, leave a note for my sisters, and make an appointment to meet them again when the time comes." ”

Li Zhenshu thought about it, it seemed to be quite creative, just do what he said, found a businessman's costume, Aina dressed up as a little maid, agreed to meet at the mansion of Grand Duke Locke of the Chriss Empire, and quietly sneaked out.

The first stop is, of course, the taverns around the Emerald Ridge, Lao Li has a preference for wine, and he has visited eighteen taverns throughout the day, from low-level dancers to high-level dancers, and then there are all kinds of hotels, including garden-type, magical, and terrifying.

I don't know if I don't experience it, it turns out that there are so many tricks in the hotel.

There is no doubt that the Emerald Ridge is the most distinctive, of course, if there is no characteristic in this territory, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive.

After playing a lot of features, I didn't have so much interest, and after staying for seven days, I left Emerald Ridge and entered the territory of the Chris's Empire.

The situation is similar in the area near the Emerald Ridge, but it will soon slowly show the characteristics of the elves, first of all, there are more tree houses, and from time to time you can see the traces of the ancient tree of life and the ancient tree of war, the moon well can be seen everywhere, and from time to time you can see a few flower elves brewing nectar.

"You're merchants. ", Amir asked innocently with wide eyes.

"No, we're just a laborer, no, we plan to send these cloths to the royal city of Chris. Lao Li made an excuse at random, that is, to send away this little girl who loves to ask questions.

Emir doesn't have much strength, twenty years old, flower elves, but at this age, he is at most a primary school student among elves, and he met by chance on the road.

"That's great, at least you can earn money now, I don't know when you'll be able to earn money for my family." Amir said dejectedly.

"Do you really want to make money?"

"Of course, I'm working so hard to practice necromancy now, just hoping to earn more money for my family, you don't know, my mother has to go to collect nectar every night, and I heard that many flower elves are tired to death because of this. ”

Looking at Emir's sensible appearance, Li Zhenshu couldn't help but touch the other party's cute head, "Actually, you don't need to work so hard to practice necromancer, not everyone has the talent to become a necromancer." ”

"Then how can it be done, now everyone in the World Tree is practicing necromancy, what, don't you know necromancy?"

"I don't understand!", Li Zhenshu hurriedly said, "I have limited talent. ”

"Alas!", Emir let out a long sigh as he looked like an old man, "How can you do it without learning necromancy, now the white bone car, the emerald card, and all kinds of undead machinery are gone, and nothing can be separated from necromancy." Pointing to a red star above the treehouse, he asked, "Do you know what that is?"

"Xingbei, what else could it be?"

"Wrong!", Emile explained seriously, "That is the White Bone Star, the source of the power of the undead, it was the Jade Lord Li Zhenshu who relied on his own strength to send it to the sky step by step, with this White Bone Star, the necromancer can continuously obtain power, this is the path of cultivation." ”

Li Zhenshu was speechless, it is estimated that those merchants in the Jade Ridge blew the Bone World into the Bone Star, and the version that appeared from Camille's little Lori's mouth has completely changed, I am afraid that the farther away from the Jade Ridge, the more terrifying the Bone World will be.

The merchant's mouth could say anything, and it would not be a surprise if someone told him one day that the star was born by him.

However, what Emir said was right, in addition to constantly evolving the undead in the Third Void Circle, the White Bone World is also to provide the power of the undead for the entire Emerald Ridge, and it is not an exaggeration to serve as a source of power for necromancers.

However, looking at the little girl's adoring appearance, it seems to be a little enchanted, "Do you really want to be a necromancer?"

"Of course, that's my goal, to become a first-level necromancer, the Temple of the Dead will give me an income, and then I can also work in the shop, I heard that I can earn three jade coins a month." ”

Three?

Hearing this number, Lao Li felt so little, but looking at the furnishings of this tree house, it should obviously be a huge amount of money, so he casually put a jade coin on the table, "This is our night's expense." ”

"No, how can this be done, Mom said to entertain you for free. ”

Li Zhenshudor directly sank his face, "Amir, how can you use other people's things without paying for them, just like you said, after you become a necromancer, you have to get a salary, which is very fair." ”

"This.... No...."

"Take it, it was your first pot of gold at that time, and from today onwards, you are also a businessman. Aina took the jade coin in Li Zhenshu's hand and put it into Camille's pocket intimately, "By the way, do you want to learn calligraphy, your brother's handwriting is very good, you can ask for an autograph." ”

"Aina!", Li Zhen said sharply.

"I don't want to. Amir replied directly.

Aina did not give up on her advice, "The writing is also good for necromancy, you can ask the big brother to show you." ”

"But I don't have time now, I have to spend all my time feeling the breath of the dead, and the rest of the time I have to help my mother collect the nectar. Camille said aggrievedly.

"Then you can always spare five minutes a day, really, you can ask for an autograph. What Aina said is already obvious.

Camille looked at Aina's eager eyes, then at Li Zhenshu's unbearable appearance, and finally said reluctantly, "Okay, but I can't practice writing recently, at most I will start after becoming a first-level necromancer." ”

As soon as the words fell, Aina looked at Li Zhenshu, "Let's start." ”

Lao Li was speechless, and there was no need to do this to sign, "Do you have paper and pen?"

"Nope. Camille handed over a leaf and a twig, and carefully stirred a piece of red resin.

Li Zhen sighed, accustomed to using a quill pen, he couldn't adapt to such a rough condition for a while, dipped in red resin, and carefully carved on the leaves, for fear of accidentally failing.

"This is your signature?", Camille looked at the three big characters dancing horizontally, feeling like a planning hu.

Li Zhenshu was very puzzled, this was designed by him alone, the only one on the World Tree, "Let's just see." Turning and falling straight onto the bed, the two women leaned against the edge of the bed, whispering something, and giggling could be heard from time to time.

One night, Camille's mother did not return, and as soon as dawn came, Camille, who was asleep, got up early to collect nectar.

Lao Li stood in front of the window, looking at the little figure carrying a honeypot twice as big as himself, and said softly, "I wish your dreams come true." Then he picked up the other party's "Code of the Dead", flipped to page 52, and pinned the awkward leaf with his name written on it in the crack of the book.
